Hmm. And a few other nuanced differences here and there. Makes me wish a little I had the 5th gen Air over the 4th to get Stage Manager support, but in reality I know that doesn't matter AT ALL as I have a Mac Studio connected to a 34" Ultrawide and with whatever Apple calls the screen thing / Sidecar / Universal Control, I can do so much of that that I would realistically never connect my Air to an external display.
Yeah crazy they created a new model with new more powerful hardware and charged more for it. Would you have preferred they not offer the old model anymore for people who don’t want to pay extra for the extra features? Everything will have to go usb-c so in your mind should they have just told people apple 1 pencil is not supported rather than saying it is but with a dongle?
I wonder if it’ll have the same shoddy/creaky build quality as the Air 5… 
I was excited about this, but it starts at too high a price and has Apple's standard $150 upgrade fee to go from 64GB to 256GB. That brings the total to $599 which..... is the exact price of the iPad Air!
What a mess. Still offering the gen 9 iPad? Gen 1 Apple Pencil support? Only with a USB-C to Lightning dongle? Why? This was the big opportunity to simplify the lineup to have a unified charging and accessory landscape and they went and made it even more confusing. This is how Apple went down the first time, but this time Steve's not coming to save them again. Sad.
Not just a Pencil dongle but no laminated display as well!!? This is a complete disaster of a product at this price.
Seems like it's a (slightly) thicker and heavier iPad air without Apple Pencil 2 support...
Was planning on getting a mac, but I’m starting to reconsider so I can get this…
It's terrible. You'd have to be an idiot to buy the new iPad 10th gen.
Once again Apple completely muddled up and complicated the damn iPad lineup. This is the stuff I do miss from the Jobs era the most, which is these half baked products wouldn't have been released. Too much confusion. This is straight out of the Tim Cook Playbook. 11"pro/Air/10th gen and 9th gen...too much
Not fully laminated display, A14, only supports 1st gen pencil, 64GB base storage, less RAM
The iPad is in many ways inferior to the Air/Pro. At this new elevated price, I don't think it's worth it tbh.

I think it was to do with the Apple Pencil Magnet Placement. Correct me if I'm wrong
At least now they have a lot of options... iPad Performa, iPad Quadra, iPad PowerMac. Will they give us the Centris and LC next?
Now there is no reason for me to consider the entry level ipad anymore. Apple has successfuly upsold us all to their higher end models. They increased the prices all around the board. There is no point in buying this one with its massive price increase. Screen size now identical to the air. I'm sick of the greed tactics.
“Complete Redesign”
Essential what they’ve already had in the Pro and later Air. 🤔

The biggest wtf is Apple Pencil 1 with lightning on an iPad with USB-C like wtf
I was waiting to get this for my Dad for Christmas.
Absolutely ludicrous pricing so he's getting last year's from John Lewis which is £299.
Madness.
